<P>Enable alerts for pets: I installed Ring 2 in order to monitor for my older dogs especially during cold months as one in particular no longer barks to come in, then discovered that pets are (understandably) excluded from monitoring. Would request that pet monitoring be added as an optional feature. As a sidenote my dogs are bassets (so short) and weigh 45-50 pounds.</P>Sat, 26 Oct 2019 18:13:43 GMTLaura_H2019-10-26T18:13:43ZAlarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/792#M159

<P>1) The ability to turn on and off "arming" sounds and/or add a third mode (home...away...night).

I had ADT before ring and the keypad would always show the status of the alarm system and whether or not it was armed. When you live in a hose with multiple people it’s important to know what the status is. With the ring keypad, however, no lights are visible so I can’t tell whether or not I can open a door without triggering the alarm. This is very inconvenient. Also with ADT when I opened a door I could immediately tell from the continuous beep from the keypad that I had better enter my code or the alarm would sound. I would also simultaneously know this from my other keypads. With the ring keypad however there is no sound. Third with ADT when the alarm was not armed and somebody opened the door all the keypads would make an alert beep. Not so with Ring alarm. Only the base station gives the alert. This is no good if I am upstairs and the base station is downstairs. I had hoped that the upstairs ring chime would have sisnaled the alerts but no. Neither does the remote siren. I don’t understand in this day and age why all these features are not programmable by the user? The lack of these lights, and alerts makes the Ring alarm system not as good as the ADT system. Please change this. I will be submitting this review to Amazon and other sites. Very disappointed.Wed, 19 Jun 2019 19:06:50 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/826#M172jst2019-06-19T19:06:50ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/835#M174

<P>Would be nice.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Keypads:</P><P>1. Numbers are next to the buttons.

It’s seems that I was incorrect on some items. One that there was no sound when door was opened in away mode. There is. As to no lights indicating the status of the alarm is partially incorrect. It seems that there is both a motion and light sensor controlling the lights on the keypad. If you are too far away no lights appear. On that point I am correct. If you are moving nearby the unit the alarm status light will turn on and so will the keypad but only if there is low light or you use your hand to obstruct it. So lights will turn on if you are close and in non Battery saving mode. None the less having a alarm status light on all the time would be a desirable selectable feature as far as I am concerned.Fri, 21 Jun 2019 05:47:22 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/847#M177jst2019-06-21T05:47:22ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/858#M181

The green light is intensely bright, while I find the status lights to be not overbearing, so I don't need to use power saver to turn them off, like I suggested to someone here somewhere. I post so much between here and reddit I can't keep track. It could have been on reddit too. But making it dimmable, or as you said, off when powered, except to indicate a problem or flashing when charging. The app can tell me or the light can change colors if it's low, so it's not like I need a constant update on the battery that will last 6 months on a charge.

<P>(Some of these have already been mentioned)</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- A mode which would arm the system without the base station yelling out "SYSTEM ARMED!" when everyone is asleep</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- Additional audio feedback at the keypads</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- On the keypads, print the words 'Stay', 'Away', and 'Off'.&nbsp; The icons for Stay and Away aren't really that clear when you're trying to rush out the door.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- Add a configurable option to arm the system without first entering the code.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- Add c0lored covers for the entry sensors - Even a fake woodgrain would look better on my doors and woodwork than white, especially since the sensors are so large.&nbsp; And my window frames are br0wn - a br0wn cover for the sensors would be nice.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- I realize that Amazon owns Ring, but it would be nice if Ring would also embrace Google Home - there's hardly any mention of it on the website.&nbsp; I've already invested in Google Home and don't want to wholesale change over to Alexa (although it would be nice to be able to say "Computer!" rather than the clunky "OK Google"...)</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- You list 4 certified smart locks, but there isn't really anything that compares them with respect to the Ring system.&nbsp; A matrix would be nice.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- For the keypads, an option for in-wall wiring would be nice.&nbsp; I replaced my old alarm keypads and used the existing wiring (spliced in a micro-usb connector at the wall, and spliced in a USB power cable in the closet).&nbsp; However, it was very tight, and required me to cut out part of the base plate to run the wiring back into the wall at the keypad.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- In addition to my Ring doorbell, I have 8 security cameras (non-Ring) around my house.&nbsp; I can't afford to replace all of those with Ring cameras, but maybe if you did a promotion...(trade in your old security camera and get x% off the cost of a Ring camera)</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- You need to make Home Depot/Lowes aware that the Ring Doorbell Pro will probably require the user to install a new transformer.&nbsp; Or you could just sell a high power Ring-branded doorbell transformer.&nbsp; I had to replace my transformer, but HD/Lowes didn't carry anything high power enough, and their sales associates were clueless as to why I would need one.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- Finally, please continue the reasonable pricing (i.e. $0.00) for access to the Ring system through the phone.&nbsp; I actually bought a system from one of your competitors and returned it after I realized that they charge $24.99/month to access the system through my phone; this price included professional monitoring, but I didn't want that - only to arm/disarm/see system status on my phone.&nbsp; It was 'simpli' too much, so I returned the system and bought Ring.&nbsp; Additionally, your $10/month charge for monitoring/camera footage retrieval is also reasonable, so I'll probably sign up for that.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Ummmm...two more words for you to remove from you word censor: c0lored and br0wn</P>Wed, 10 Jul 2019 16:18:19 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1111#M220jkyoung2019-07-10T16:18:19ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1172#M231
I agree 100%. I use the camera indoors and also have the alarm system. I hope I’m not missing something, but I think it’s a little ridiculous that I cannot disable the camera alerts in “home” or “disarmed” alarm mode. If there’s a way to do that then I haven’t found it :/Tue, 16 Jul 2019 02:15:05 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1172#M231vacationjason2019-07-16T02:15:05ZKey Fob accessoryhttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1185#M238

<P>How about adding a scheduling feature in the app? Say for disarmed and home?</P><P>As an example, I could schedule the alarm to turn on home mode from 10pm to 6am. Then from 6am to 10pm, it would switch to disarmed. This way, nobody would forget to manually turn it on, before going to bed. I could see this only working for home and disarmed as the away mode should always be triggered by the app or keypad.</P>Wed, 17 Jul 2019 00:13:33 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1194#M240Aloper2019-07-17T00:13:33ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1252#M254

I would like to have an option on the keypad to always illuminate the alarm status led (disarmed, home, away), even if on battery power. It would be just as useful and use less power if it did this only in one of the armed states.<BR /><BR />I want to do this so that my family can more readily see the alarm status without walking all the way across the house. It’s convenient to glance at the keypad before opening a door to walk the dog without setting off the alarm or glancing to see if someone else has set the alarm for the night.<BR /><BR />The powered mode provides this experience, but it isn’t always practical to hardwire, or the look of hardwiring might not be desirable in all situations.Wed, 24 Jul 2019 23:35:00 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1303#M271RingUser2019-07-24T23:35:00ZFeature Request - Only record when armedhttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1304#M272
I would like to have an option for my Ring cameras to only record motion events when the alarm is armed. I want to choose which cameras are included and in which modes the cameras will record motion.<BR /><BR />This brings me several benefits that might lead me to buy more cameras. First, from a privacy perspective I’m not interested in recording my family walking the dog, swimming in the pool, grilling dinner, or generally living our life. However, if the alarm is armed and someone comes near those same entrances I definitely want them recorded. I might even put a camera inside if it’s only recording when armed explicitly in away mode. Second, we should save a lot of battery because we won’t be recording ourselves in the act of daily living all the time. When the alarm is armed there will be far fewer events recorded from our routine coming and going leading to longer times between charges and a lower effort experience overall.Wed, 24 Jul 2019 23:52:35 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1304#M272RingUser2019-07-24T23:52:35ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1308#M273
****We need the ability to enter in a panic 4-digit distress code that would “disarm” Ring but alert authorities. Most home security systems have this. This should be integrated with Alexa as well so the fake code could be audibly used with Alexa to “disarm” Ring.<BR /><BR />Also, as most folks have stated we need to be able to hear chimes through the keypad. Of course folks have to realize this will diminish battery life.<BR /><BR />Where is glass breakage sensor’s???<BR /><BR />There should be hardwired terminals on the back of the keypads to be able to run off ac if wires are available from a previous system; not Just mini USBThu, 25 Jul 2019 00:58:58 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1308#M273Jsd2019-07-25T00:58:58ZRe: Security Cams Feature Request (notification sounds)https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1320#M275

Yes, I opted for the spotlight camera over the Stickup cam (even tho the Stickup cam fit my needs better and is cheaper) because it had the siren feature.<BR /><BR />I feel like this is an added security feature that trumps potential noise violations. Ring needs to address this ASAP and give us an option to link the sirens to the base. This is an easy fix, that gives us users added security.Sun, 11 Aug 2019 21:54:00 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1678#M356Neighbor3162019-08-11T21:54:00ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/1679#M357

<P>The motion sensor should have an added delay setting of "auto". &nbsp;If a delay sensor is triggered then the motion sensor would also be delayed. &nbsp; But if no delay sensor is triggered then the motion sensor would be immediate. &nbsp; Having to set a motion sensor to delay all the time so you can get in the house through a delay door defeats some of its effectiveness.</P>Wed, 18 Sep 2019 04:27:28 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2352#M479Brad2019-09-18T04:27:28ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2353#M480
The motion sensor has “auto” built in already. If motion is detected after another sensor is activated on “delay”, the motion sensor AUTOMATICALLY is on delay as wellWed, 18 Sep 2019 07:36:10 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2353#M480Jsd2019-09-18T07:36:10ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2355#M481
<P>That is not what it says. &nbsp;The two options are "entryway" (delay) or "room" (no delay). &nbsp;I see nothing in any documentation that explains anyting else. &nbsp;If the sensor already has this "auto" option by default, then it is hidden, and which of the listed options do you pick? &nbsp;And why would they be there?</P>Wed, 18 Sep 2019 12:09:37 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2355#M481Brad2019-09-18T12:09:37ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2358#M482
Yes that is correct, those are your two options and rightly so. I have a ring and have tested this because I had the same question. By setting it on Entryway (no delay) and you were to enter that room through a door that has another sensor, the motion sensor will switch automatically to delay , Giving you time to turn off the alarm.<BR /><BR />For example let’s say you have the motion sensor installed on a porch and a stranger were to enter the porch from the outside at night. The alarm siren would go off immediately. But if you were to enter the porch from a door leading from your house into the porch that has a sensor on it, the motion sensor would switch to delay because it knows that it’s you coming from the house And the countdown warning would sound giving you time to turn off the alarm. All you have to do is test it and you’ll see. So set your motion to no delay (entryway )Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:36:49 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2358#M482Jsd2019-09-18T15:36:49ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2359#M483
<P>This probably should be in a different thread, but I would expect that if you set the motion detector to "room," it will always trigger the alarm, but if you set it to "delay," it will trigger the alarm after a delay&nbsp;<EM>only if</EM> an entry delay is in progress.&nbsp; It should be easy enough to test the behavior.</P>Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:37:17 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2359#M483DalRingUser2019-09-18T15:37:17ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2368#M485

<P>When looking at sensor details in the app, along with the current battery level display, it would be nice to see signal strength (1-5 bars for example). &nbsp;Would help with placement and dianositcs.</P>Thu, 19 Sep 2019 20:31:47 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2387#M488Brad2019-09-19T20:31:47ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2389#M489
Would be nice for the Ring people to let us know if they’re working on a glass sensor and if so when will it be availableThu, 19 Sep 2019 20:57:40 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2389#M489Jsd2019-09-19T20:57:40ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2415#M493
<P>One nice feature of Samsung Smarthings is the abiity to set notification triggers. &nbsp;For example, you can set a motion sensor to send a notification if there has been no activity between 7-10am, or if a specific door sensor does not open between 7-10am, as a few examples. &nbsp;These notifications allow the system to go beyond just being an alarm, but aid in elderly care, for example. &nbsp;I would think this functionality would open more marketshare for Ring, you already have the base infrastructure. &nbsp;And if you do that, I could replace the Smartthings setup at my mother's house with Ring!</P>Sat, 21 Sep 2019 00:32:22 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2415#M493Brad2019-09-21T00:32:22ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2417#M494
<P>I would like to see text notifications. &nbsp;You do app notifications, but they are easy to miss. &nbsp;And email is not as phone friendly. &nbsp;Others do this (Xfinity Home, Smarthings) so I would think this would be an easy notification method to add. &nbsp;App notifications, email and text - cover all the bases.</P>Sat, 21 Sep 2019 00:30:49 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2417#M494Brad2019-09-21T00:30:49ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2419#M495
This would be a great feature. I bet there are a ton of users out there that would like to only use the motion recording feature on their Stick Up Cams when their alarms are armed in Away mode.<BR />Please add this feature!

<P>When the alarm siren sounds it would be nice to have the sirens on all the cameras (or which ever ones you set) sound also. &nbsp;The Ring cameras should be able to act as remote sirens.</P>Sat, 21 Sep 2019 18:56:10 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2426#M498Brad2019-09-21T18:56:10ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2429#M501
<P>I don't own Ring cameras, but I think that the camera sirens can be controlled by Alexa. If that is true you can use Simple Commands by kloee to recognize that Ring is "alarming" and use that as a trigger for an Alexa routine or to run as an automomous routine I do something similar to turn on auxiiary devices (lights and an additional alarm siren) when the Ring alarm is triggered. Simple Commands by kloee is free to use and greatly expands the functionality of Ring and Alexa. For instance, arming and disarming Ring from Alexa routines</P>Sat, 21 Sep 2019 19:18:03 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2429#M501LSchaub2019-09-21T19:18:03ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2446#M504
<P>The Ring Alarm should be able to work as a Ring Chime with the cameras (just like the window/door/motion chirp tones). &nbsp;I have a camera on my front porch and it would be nice to hear a Ring Alarm chirp when the camera picks up motion.</P>Mon, 23 Sep 2019 21:12:01 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2446#M504Brad2019-09-23T21:12:01ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2454#M506
<P>A few more chime sound options would be nice. &nbsp;That should be an easy one to do.</P>Tue, 24 Sep 2019 12:19:33 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2454#M506Brad2019-09-24T12:19:33ZRe: Alarm Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2468#M507
<P>Other security systems have a "key fob", that typically can be used to arm or disarm the system. (I'd actually prefer it to act as a Panic Button, but it would need to be built/housed to avoid accidentally setting off the system.)</P>Wed, 25 Sep 2019 03:16:28 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/m-p/2468#M507TomBurton2019-09-25T03:16:28Z
